The problem of definition expansion and contraction

This article is the fourth of a series of articles discussing various open research problems in automated reasoning. The problem proposed for research focuses on finding criteria that would enable an automated reasoning program to expand or contract definitions wisely. For evaluating a proposed solution to this research problem, we include suggestions concerning possible test problems.This work was supported by the Applied Mathematical Sciences subprogram of the Office of Energy Research, U.S. Department of Energy, under contract W-31-109-Eng-38.     

Erosion rate correlations of a pipe protruded in an abrupt pipe contraction

Erosion is one of the most serious problems in various gas and liquid flow passages such as flow in pipes, pumps, turbines, compressors and many other devices. Sand presence causes loss of pipe wall thickness that can lead to pipe erosion, frequent failures and loss of expensive production time. The importance of this problem is mainly due to many related engineering applications, viz. heat exchangers. In order to reduce the frequency of such pipe erosions, caps in the form of replaceable pipes are protruded in the sudden contraction regions which are exposed to most of the serious erosion rates. In the present work, numerical investigation of the erosion of a pipe protruded in a sudden contraction is presented. The turbulent, steady, 2-D axi-symmetric flow inside an axi-symmetric abrupt contraction pipe with a pipe protrusion embedded in it was solved by steady-state time averaged conservation equations of mass and momentum along with two equation model for turbulence. Particles are tracked using Lagrangian particle tracking. An erosion model was employed to investigate the erosion phenomena for the given geometry. The influence of the different parameters such as the inlet flow velocity (3–10 m/s), the particle diameter (10–400 μm), the protruded pipe geometry (thickness T=1–5 mm and depth H=2–5 mm) and the pipe contraction ratio (Cr=0.25–0.5) on the erosion of pipe protrusion was investigated. Correlations for the influence of inlet flow velocity, depth and thickness of the protruded pipe on the erosion rate are presented.     

A λ-unifiability test for set theory

We present a semi-decision algorithm for the unifiability of two set-theoretic formulas modulo -reduction. The algorithm is based on the approach developed by G. Huet for type theory, but requires additional measures because formulas in set theory are not all normalizable. We present the algorithm in an Ada-like pseudocode, and then prove two theorems that show the completeness and correctness of the procedure. We conclude by showing that -unification is not a complete quantifier substitution method for set theory-unlile first-order unification and first-order logic. In this respect set theory is similar to type theory (higher-order logic).This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under award number ISI-8560438.

关于狭义相对论中时空问题的讨论

狭义相对论明确指出同时性、时间和空间的测量是相对的,与物体的运动状态或与参考系的选取密切相关,并以此建立了相对论时空观.基于狭义相对论中时空概念的关联分析,讨论了解决时空问题的思路和方法,指出了＂同时性的相对性＂是理解和认识相对论时空观的基础,有利于解决大学物理教学的重难点问题.

Effect of copper addition on the thermal contraction of indium melt clusters

The structure of In-1%Cu and In-5%Cu (mass fraction) alloy melts were studied at different temperatures above liquidus by using a high-temperature X-ray diffractometer and were compared with that of pure In melt. Experimental results show that with the addition of 1% Cu or 5% Cu, the thermal contraction phenomenon of atom clusters occurs in melts with the temperature increasing like pure In melt. With the addition of 1% Cu, the thermal contraction of atom clusters increases and the contraction is not homogeneous in the whole measurement temperature range. The sudden change and noticeable contraction can be found in the range of 280-390℃. The temperature range of the sudden change is lower than that of pure In melt. With the addition of 5% Cu, the thermal contraction of atom clusters decreases and the contraction is not consistent in the whole measurement temperature range. The anomalous change can be measured at about 600 ℃. At the same superheating temperature, the nearest interatomic distance r1 of     

Ergonomic Analysis of Mobile Cart–Assisted Stocking Activities Using Electromyography

Workers in grocery stores are exposed to numerous musculoskeletal risks that can be reduced using assistive devices while performing stocking tasks. A regional grocery store has recently deployed a mobile cart without comprehension of its ergonomic impact on workers, which this article investigates using normalized electromyography data (%MVC). This article studies not only ergonomic impact based on %MVC values but also work performance represented by a muscle force metric (MFM). The results from this study showed highest muscle groups in %MVC and MFM were the erector spinae and triceps. Interestingly, muscle activations on erector spinae were reduced when mobile cart is used. %MVC and MFM distribution for value‐added‐ and non‐value‐added subtasks were slightly different, with larger differences observed for non‐value‐added tasks. Video recordings revealed higher work performance when the mobile cart is used. In future research, the number of participants will be increased to further validate the results from this study.     

An algorithm to compute maximal contractions for Horn clauses

In the theory of belief revision, the computation of all maximal subsets (maximal contractions) of a formula set with respect to a set of facts is one of the key problems. In this paper, we try to solve this problem by studying the algorithm to compute all maximal contractions for Horn clauses. First, we point out and prove the conversion relationship between minimal inconsistent subsets of union of the formula set and the set of facts and maximal contractions of the formula set with respect to th...
